1983 Japanese Pressing (White Label)
Top Condition!
Japanese fusion cornerstone — racing-car cover, razor-tight playing, and world-class horns.
Lightning-tight Japanese jazz-fusion from Casiopea’s debut. Issei Noro’s razor-edged guitar, Minoru Mukaiya’s bright synths, Tetsuo Sakurai’s melodic slap bass, and Takashi Sasaki’s crisp drums lock into precise, city-night grooves. Clean 4-bar drum intros, unison horn-like synth riffs, and Rhodes vamps make this especially sample-friendly while staying glossy and dance-floor ready.

About the Condition
About the Condition
| Grade | Description |
|---|---|
| S (Sealed) | Still sealed in factory wrap. Never played. |
| M (Mint) | Perfect condition. Looks unplayed with no signs of use. Typically used for records that are brand new or opened but never played. |
| EX (Excellent) | Very clean. May have light scuffs or hairline marks, but plays perfectly. |
| VG+ (Very Good Plus) | Minor wear, light surface noise, no major flaws — a solid average used copy. |
| VG (Very Good) | Visible wear and surface noise. Plays through without skipping. |
| G+ (Good Plus) | Heavily used. Significant wear or scratches, but still playable. |
+ / − may be added to indicate slight variations (e.g. VG+, EX−).
We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
